Harrison Ford has said that he has no objections to doing interviews to promote his movies.

The Indiana Jones star, who can next be seen in drama Extraordinary Measures, claimed that his reputation for being prickly when questioned was something that he picked up early on in his career.

"I don't mind doing interviews," Ford told The AV Club. "I don't mind answering thoughtful questions. But I'm not thrilled about answering questions like 'If you were being mugged, and you had a lightsaber in one pocket and a whip in the other, which would you use?'."

The 67-year-old noted that he still gets something out of the interview process, adding that it gives him the opportunity to bring attention to his work.

"I care a lot about the movies that I make," he commented. "I want them to reach an audience, and I want them to be successful. I see this as a real opportunity. That's why I'm out here. I promote nearly everything that I do, unless I've got some bad taste in my mouth."
